Would it make sense to add a storage group type field now.
I can think of a few types already.

1. Default (the current ones)
2. Thumbs
3. DB Backups
4. Offline Content
5. Local Copy

I evisage #4 being used for things like where some content is archived
off to a removable medium (DVD, ext HDD etc) while still keeping the
metadata in the DB. We can then build frontend support around this.

#5 Could be used for things like local copies of content, which would
then allow things like a portable frontend to be designed and built.
This would be for things like the long car/train journeys where you have
everything you need to run without a backend being present.
